[Help] Shortcut folders on desktop.

I really like that you can make folder shortcuts from within the file manager. However, It shows the correct folder for a split second, and then it opens the parent folder, the folder above the one I want to shortcut. Can you guys fix this please?
Also how can I sort the desktop icons?

The first issue we are currently unable to reproduce; after creating a shortcut, it will generate the corresponding icon on the desktop.
The second issue is that we currently do not support sorting, and we will relay this requirement to the product team.

I do have the same problem.
I do have a shortcut to my JDownloader path
Here the content of the shortcut:
more JDownloader.oexe
{"type":"oexe","link":"/Volume1/Videos/JDownloader","icon":"/static/images/desktop/folder.svg"}
But the file manager reacts weird: it tries to open the directory and then go immediately to "Document" instead of staying in "JDownloader".
I think, there is a async problem here (between 2 apps)

I tried it again this morning.
It worked, but then it failed.
Clicking on the icon opens the file manager in the correct directory ("JDownloader").
Clicking on it again with the file manager open will go to 'Documents' this time.
It's a pity there's no official answer to this problem :-/

Verified that clicking a shortcut created in the [Documents] module within [User Space] and being redirected to the document is normal behavior. When you create a shortcut in folders under [Locations], it will correctly redirect to the actual path. This operation works the same way as in Windows.
